Big Day!

Well it is here, today is Aubrey's 4th birthday! Crazy that our little girl is growing up. She is a joy to have in our family and we couldn't imagine what it would be like without her. I was going to put pictures up, but I can't find the laptop, sorry. But she had a fun birthday, even with me being sick. She went to church with Richard, Mason and I stayed home. She got to sit next to her best friend, the boy she says she is going to marry, because Richard is on the stand. I would love to say that she got a cool cake, but it is by far the worst cake I have ever done. I was going to do a cool princesses one, but the thought of making it made me sick, so I thought about doing an ice cream cake. Well that idea fell apart as I fell asleep thinking about it. So Richard made the cake and I put some frosting on it. At least she was happy with her presents. Now we all need to get over our cold stuff.

At the fort

Weapons firing, he finished and Mason told us that he wanted to do it too.

pictures- as promised

If this picture isn't scary of Mason, the next one sure is!

A little bit late, but the kids costumes, Mason was Scobby-doo

And Aubrey was Ariel. Thanks Grandma for the cool costumes.

All fun and games

So I promise pictures, but well I don't have them so I thought I would write something about Mason instead. I have started to exercises in the mornings, I would like to do it before the kids are up, but I have a hard time getting out of bed at 5:30. A lot of times I will let the kids watch something while I head to the treadmill. Most of the time I will watch a movie while I run, watching a wall is really boring. That means to be able to hear it I wear headphones, I do leave the door unlocked so the kids can get me if the need. Aubrey has learned that this is her time, in other words she knows where all the candy is and tries to eat as much as she can. Mason on the other hand likes to bug me. The other day he found a new trick he now does every time I am on the treadmill. He takes his toys and throws them on and the fly back to him. Pretty funny, now I am waiting for the day that I fly back there with them.

Been a while

Sorry it has been a while since I have written, we have had Grandma and Grandpa Jensen down to visit us. They hit a good week, because it has been cold this week. I know, it isn't as cold as some of you, but for us it has been cold. We are in the upper 50's, lower 60's. I even bought hats and gloves for the kids today. Laugh all you want, but we are kind-of getting use to the warm weather. I can honestly say I don't miss the winters back out west. Anyway, we were able to do a lot of this while they were here. We went to the beach a couple of times, rode the trolley tour, played a lot, and one of the highlights was seeing the space shuttle launch. It was a night launch, which was even better. We were as close as we could get, not as close as we were last time, but it was still fun to go see. I have pictures, but they are on the other computer, so be prepared for the next time I post, it will be pictures.
